Thank you...

So Wedding Season is coming to an end for me- the hectic energy is dying down to a more handleable load and I feel mixed emotions about it (as I always do.) I welcome the lull as a chance to renew and re-energize but I will miss all the lovely moments that weddings bring. The tears, the laughter, the anticipation and the celebration always moves me (I always have to brace myself as the bride walks down the aisle because even I shed a tear or two...) Speaking of celebration I am writing this blog to mention a wedding I just shot last week! I shot my first ever Ethiopian wedding and they definitely know how to celebrate and rejoice! It was the most wonderful thing I ever experienced! I was hired a couple of days later to shoot the gift opening and I was amazed at how inviting everyone was. They all remembered me and laughed and invited me as part of their family. There was, however, one moment at the wedding reception that meant alot to me. One of the gentleman at one of the tables who could hardly speak a word of english took it upon himself to take me aside and say "You are truly gifted at what you do! People like you...you do a good job!" Thank you...even after all these years and all of these photo sessions I weep at the sincere appreciation of my clients and their family! I guess now it's time to update my website with the new photos, to add new packages, to add new and exciting options for me lovely clients, and to eventually make a new section for a new photo project of mine (well..relatively new..it's been in progress since 2003.) Where do I begin?
